Maxis Berhad (Maxis) today announced healthy performance for the quarter that ended on 30 September 2025, demonstrating continued growth and enhanced profitability. The Company reported a significant increase in Profit After Tax (PAT) of 12.6% year-on-year (YoY) to RM412 million, alongside a 5.2% YoY rise in EBITDA to RM1,102 million. This strong showing is attributed to higher service revenue and disciplined cost management, reinforcing Maxis’ continued gains from operational efficiencies, network optimisation, and digitalisation initiatives.
Service revenue rose by 1.3% to RM2,241 million. This growth was fuelled by strong, steady performance in the Consumer Postpaid, Home, and Enterprise segments, even as changes to the commercial arrangement for the company's device protection program continue to impact results.
Performance Highlights by Segment:
- Consumer Mobile demonstrated stable performance, with subscribers growing by 3.2% YoY to 9.87 million. Postpaid led this growth with a 7.7% YoY increase in subscribers, fuelled by attractive value-packed plans and successful customer acquisition strategies. Prepaid segment remained resilient, supported by targeted offerings.
- Consumer Home service revenue grew by 1.6% YoY to RM255 million, with subscriptions rising by 0.8% to 788,000. This growth was driven by value-led plans and bundled offerings, delivering exceptional value for households through seamless mobile and fibre connectivity, home and lifestyle devices, and solar energy solutions.
- Enterprise Business recorded a strong 5.6% YoY increase in service revenue, reaching RM418 million. This was propelled by significant growth in fixed and solutions revenue, particularly in network (including data centre connectivity), cloud, and wholesale solutions. Maxis continues to build a robust order pipeline, leveraging its expertise in delivering end-to-end solutions for businesses of all sizes.
As Malaysia’s truly integrated connectivity provider, Maxis is actively accelerating enterprise digital transformation across the nation. The Company has fiberised over 100,000 business premises and connected 39 data centres to boost reliability. Maxis also recently introduced Malaysia’s first Quantum Safe Networking solution, underscoring its commitment to next-generation network resilience.
“Our focus on operational excellence is driving accelerated momentum, evidenced by healthy EBITDA growth and margin expansion. We’re leveraging AI and automation for cost efficiencies while our investment to maintain our network leadership continues, with quarterly capex of RM224 million. We affirm our full year guidance for low-single-digit growth in service revenue and mid-single-digit growth in EBITDA, supported by capex of around RM1 billion. In line with this performance, the Board has declared a dividend of 4 sen per share reflecting the company’s financial health and commitment to shareholder value.” - Goh Seow Eng, Chief Executive Officer of Maxis
